Ozzie Guillen wouldn't of taken Vlad out and says he doesn't care about the defense.
Other than that, I can’t understand a goddamn word he is saying.
I think he’s drunk.
You're dead to me.
Didn't he have a hand in trading Carlos Lee for Scott Podsednik? Or was that all Kenny Williams?
Perhaps I’ve underestimated how much he cares for contact+speed.
I wonder if Nelson Cruz got into baseball late as a kid.
He was 17 when Vlad had his first good season.
Natch.

Get over it Josh.
It’s not even worth the mention, it’s not like they were throwing joints at you (they wouldn’t waste good weed).
"There! I just sold you for a cigarette! And I don't smoke!"
I can't believe how excited I am for this. I'm not sure why I am, but this is fun.

Scummy or sardonic? I think a little of both.

Dallas-Fort Worth? Any other city whose team isn't currently playing Josh Hamilton in the World Series?

OK I kind of see it now.
I didn’t find it very funny or overly offensive. Just, I don’t know… relevant?
On the wagon drug abuser, alcoholic, etc? I'd say.

Don't get me wrong - I really like the guy, and find him amazing as a human being.

RICHARD PRYOR.
I sometimes find myself engaged in combat with hobos.
He is amazing but I guess I'm kinda sick of hearing about him.
I think I just found why it’s not that funny to me.
Have you seen that ESPN "Homecoming" series?
The episode about him is pretty cool, but yes, he plays a bit holier than thou (to quote Thingray in a seperate discussion) about his life.
I sometimes find myself engaged in combat with hobos.
If he's actually in recovery he'll laugh it off.
That’s what recovery is; adapting to life.

Of this I know.
Perhaps that’s why I enjoy him. I assume he would laugh at the sign in question.

I play guitar.

Just forwarded it to you.

Nope.

I had a hilarious argument with my friend about how he would never bench Vlad because of his defense
and then not ten minutes later, he misplayed the Cody Ross ball to prove me exactly right

MLB TV users,
What happens during commercial break? I think it would be awesome to hear players remarking on the game, coaches talking to players, player/coach interviews, etc. Does that happen, or does it merely say “commercial break in progress?”
I sometimes find myself engaged in combat with hobos.
Sometimes it'll be a bit late going to 'commercial break in progress' and you'll hear announcers chatting
but not very often.
That's too bad.
The last time I was in a Mariners’ suite, there was the option of switching between radio and TV broadcast, and during commercial breaks, you could hear the chatter. It was awesome that I could switch the audio as soon as Rizzs and Red came on.
I sometimes find myself engaged in combat with hobos.
For that matter...
Why don’t MLB teams rent out their suites for WS viewing events, with little perks like that included.
by THolt on Oct 28, 2010 6:00 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions 1 recs
Not to mention a great night out for fans of teams who didn't make it,
as well as perhaps a cheaper chance to attain the suite experience. Great idea. Seriously – email the Ms.
I sometimes find myself engaged in combat with hobos.
Seriously. I'll back you up with an email of my own.
Actually a wonderful idea.
They do it for home fans for when their team is on the road – why not do it for the WS even if your team isn’t in it? What’s the worst? Not a sellout? You’re still making money and entertaining many, many people. I rec your idea, sir.
I sometimes find myself engaged in combat with hobos.
Thanks. Gimme an address and I'll shoot it off right now.
I think you popped my ‘rec’ cherry. Shocked they hadn’t thought of it.

Aww, shit – hold on…

Wow - I have a few connections there.
I’ll see what I can do. Great email.

Did Ross keep Hamilton from moving to 3rd by using his face?
Looked like he kept the ball in front of him by using his head..
I wonder if Hamilton will relapse after his failed attempt to overcome Cain tonight..

Well, if you want to believe the internet.
In a June 19, 2008, appearance on The Colbert Report, Cookie Monster again explained that “Cookies are a sometimes food.” He also attempted to eat Stephen Colbert’s Peabody Award. Colbert had asked agitatedly why Cookie Monster had “abandoned the pro-cookie agenda” and thus caused fruit to become the favorite snack of American children, according to a study Colbert had heard. Colbert criticized Cookie Monster for not wearing a cookie lapel pin. Cookie Monster also claimed to have “crazy times during the ’70s and ’80s”, referring to himself as “the Robert Downey, Jr. of cookies.” After eating a cookie to prove he still likes cookies, Cookie Monster asked if the Peabody Award, a round medallion on a small pedestal, was a cookie. When Colbert returned to speak to Cookie Monster at the end of the show, the award had disappeared and Cookie Monster was wiping his mouth with a napkin.

The Mayans were off by 6 years.
I hated McCarver and Buck before I even liked baseball. I was like 13 and I was still intelligent enough to know that they were just talking heads. And I didn’t get the euphemism “talking head” at that age, either. Oh god why?
Bwahaha

In a "Sixty Minutes" interview, a former exec said they artificially inflated prices just so they wouldn't scare consumers off.
i.e. they can still turn a profit with a 49 cent burrito. Ewwwwwwy.
Didn't see the game.
Any comical/informative summaries?
I couldn't watch either, but the box score indicates that Texas must have a lousy bullpen, or at least
relied on the lousy pitchers in their bullpen. Nice. I hope they don’t come back from this and I hope this convinces Cliff Fucking Lee to go to New York.

I didn't get to see as much as I wanted, but most of what I saw was simply one team completely focused and overpowering.
